Summary: 10/10 Excellent We had an amazing stay at The Lodge on Maple Island during the week of the 4th of July! The cabin’s decorations and amenities were top-notch, making us feel right at home. The game room was a huge hit with everyone, providing endless entertainment, especially when we had a rainy day. We also loved spending time on the lake, which offered beautiful views and great fishing. Scott and Kathy were fantastic hosts, ensuring we had everything we needed for a perfect vacation. Highly recommend this gem for a memorable family getaway!

Summary: We had a wonderful week and could not have asked for better hosts. I first contacted Scott last winter and communication since was astounding! We could not believe how well appointed the cabin was. I am in the habit of bringing everything and for this cabin that was so so unnecessary. I know Scott and Kathy went over and above to accommodate us. Not everything was perfect, but we had a wonderful week.

Summary: Our family had a great stay while we were in the area for a wedding. This house is so unique and fun! We joked that it’s like being in an I spy book because you are always finding something that you didn’t see the last time you were in the room. The game room downstairs was a HUGE hit with our 5 kids (ages 11-16). Definitely not the place to stay if you’re looking to spend your days on the lake as the little bay the house sits on is very shallow and full of weeds but it was a very peaceful and beautiful back drop nonetheless. The hosts were very helpful and responsive, making sure we had the best time possible. If I had to come up with a downfall… there was a lot of spider webs covering the decks and outside areas but that just comes with living on the lake. We would definitely stay again! Thanks for a great experience!

Summary: In for a wedding with loads of people. Plenty of space to make and eat food and sleep. Basement full of games was great, lots of time spent there. And a nice big fire pit. We were not there to fish, but if you were this place would be great for that too.

Summary: This was a beautiful house, comfy beds, great location. It was great to have so many options of things to do in the house if the weather didn't let us go outside. And we all got our workout going up and down the stairs from the house to the dock though, so it's something to keep in mind if you have an older person in your group! Fun fishing off the dock even if it all we caught was little ones and turtles! Hosts we very good to work with.

Summary: We had a wonderful time at The Palmer House. Our favorite spot to hang out was the game room. There are so many games to choose from. PacMan and Golden Tee were a hit as was shooting pool into the early morning. We brought our boat and utilized the house dock. The public boat ramp/dock was a short 5 minute drive. Maple Lake is the perfect size for fishing, tubing and floating. Scott’s fishing map helped land some bass and northern. This was a perfect place for a family vacation.

Summary: Kathy and Scott are wonderful hosts! They went above and beyond in communicating with me leading up to vacation and checked in the perfect amount during our stay to ensure everything was going well. They take pride in sharing their home, and it shows! The sun porch was my favorite place in the home-enjoying the lovely property bug-free! The extremely clear water made for some great paddle boarding. Good lake for fishing in the mornings, and the game room was a huge hit for everyone! A bonus that you don't find in too many rental properties! We had such a great time.
